Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey J. Murphy announced the arrest of 54-year-old Jackie Elsworth following an investigation into SNAP benefits fraud. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office, in collaboration with the Department of Social Services, found that Elsworth failed to report a change in income while receiving SNAP benefits, resulting in over $3,400 in improper payments.
Elsworth faces a Class D felony charge of Grand Larceny in the third degree. She was arraigned at Centralized Arraignment and released on her own recognizance. She is scheduled to appear at Fort Edward Town Court at a later date.
Investigator J. Dalaba-Brockway led the case with support from the Washington County Department of Social Services.
